            Bug ID: 352669
           Summary: Crash dialogue truncates and hides text
           Product: drkonqi
           Version: 5.4.0
          Platform: Other
                OS: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
          Assignee: unassigned-bugs at kde.org
          Reporter: karl at huftis.org

When using large font sizes,  the crash dialogue truncates the text, only
showing the first line of each paragraph of text. And it’s far from obvious
that the text have been truncated. Also, some paragraphs aren’t shown at all
(because lack of space).

I‘ll attach a couple of screenshot, showing the problem.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Set the font settings in the system settings to use very large font sizes.
2. Make something in KDE crash.
3. Observe truncated text in the KDE crash dialogue.

Actual Results:  
Only the first line of each paragraph is shown. And for the last paragraph, no
text is shown.

Expected Results:  
Firstly, the the dialogue should by default be sized so that all the text
(including the text on the buttons) is visible. If this isn’t possible (or the
user manually resizes the dialogue to make it smaller), scrollbars should be
supplied.

Also, if there isn’t enough space for all the text, as much as possible should
be shown, not just the first line. For example, if there is just enough space
for two lines of text, the text should be the two first lines of the first
paragraph, not the first line of the first paragraph followed by the first line
of the second paragraph.

(And I guess it should not be possible to make the dialogue so narrow that not
all of the button texts are visible).
